Refugio de Góriz

Aragón

LoginSave

One of the Spanish Pyrenees' star refuges sits at the crossroads of an enviable network of paths in the shadow of Monte Perdido, for which it acts as an unofficial base camp. The 80 bunks are normally fully occupied throughout July and August and on June and September weekends – reserve well ahead.

The quickest hike in (about four hours) is from Pradera de Ordesa via the Circo de Soaso. Staffed year-round, the refuge has an all-day bar, and offers picnic lunches as well as breakfast (€6.50) and dinner (€18).
